In the first week of a Grand Slam, you don't win the tournament, but you can certainly lose. Carlos Alcaraz stepped onto the court at Roland Garros 2025 to face Giulio Zeppieri, fully aware of the need to avoid any distractions. The Italian presented a formidable version of himself, pushing Carlitos, who ultimately won 6-3 6-4 6-2.

Every beginning brings great excitement, but also some uncertainty. Carlos Alcaraz dispelled any doubts in his first match as the defending champion at the Parisian Grand Slam. He played with seriousness and strength, showing utmost respect for the danger posed by his opponent, Giulio Zeppieri, who displayed outstanding tennis skills and competitive rhythm after coming through the qualifying rounds. Roland Garros 2025 already has its reigning champion in the second round, brimming with confidence and unbeatable sensations.

Fully focused, tactically organized, and with good intensity. From the early stages of the first set, Alcaraz showed that unbeatable version of himself that proves too challenging for the vast majority of the circuit. Zeppieri made the Spanish work hard on the court, creating good angles with his left-handed topspin shots, taking risks with his first serves, and trying to push Alcaraz out of his comfort zone. The breakthrough eventually came almost inevitably, propelled by Carlos's infinite technical resources.

The script of the second set was similar, witnessing moments of greater equality. Alcaraz showed no fear in approaching the net, being very aggressive in his shots and engaging in long rallies. Giulio held his ground with remarkable merit until he couldn't contain the flow of game coming his way. There was no disconnection on Alcaraz's part, as he competed with immense seriousness until the end, diminishing any hope for his opponent.

The third set was where Carlos Alcaraz's clear superiority was most evident as he closed the match with tremendous professionalism. Giulio Zeppieri has nothing to reproach himself for, as he showcased excellent tennis and maintained the competitive rhythm that every title favorite needs in these initial rounds. A significant step forward in Roland Garros 2025, where the Spanish player emerges as a top contender aiming to defend his title from the previous year.
